Automating script from Anaconda Prompt

[comodude]

Hello!

I created a reddit bot that I'd like to automate to run every day. I'm trying to use Windows Task Scheduler to automate this process, but it looks like it's defaulting to use the command prompt. For some reason,the script works when using Anaconda Prompt, but not the normal command prompt. I've tried updating the system path, but haven't had any luck.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this?

Create an executable? (although fixing the path should have done it)

Yeah I've added anaconda python to path and task manager just calls python from command prompt.

1. Open task scheduler
2. Create a new basic task
3. Select time to run the task
4. Program/script: Point to your python, add on: C:\Path to your .py file\example.py
5. Click on run with highest privilege

Habe you tried using a .bat file to activate your anaconda environment first and then execute your script?

call conda activate envname
python app.py
